These guys are human too! ;-)

I thought we could be friends, I guess not. :(

1. Illness is never a good thing
2. Your use of the “c” word in your sig is disturbing and has really bad omen potential… I also don’t like reading the word over and over again.

an important team leader as far as the intangibles or whatever are concerned. It’s the exact same thing with Barmes, if the Rockies are relying on either to be big run producers for long, they are in trouble. I never said the singles were a bad thing, they just don’t generate runs like CarGo’s or Tulo’s XBH’s and the Rockies are needing more of the latter, particularly with RISP so we can get crooked innings, than the latter.

Your comment seems to imply you think Yorvit’s more than that, though. Torrealba has been fantastic with RISP (and he has been, don’t get me wrong) but why only two more RBI than Stewart in several more PA’s? Are Torrealba’s runs produced worth more than Stewart’s? Is that what you’re saying? The correct answer should be that runs are runs, and whether they come from Torrealba’s singles or Stewart’s HR’s, they’re equally valuable. And this is stating the obvious but the Rockies big problem is just not getting enough of them, regardless.

I’m fine with giving Torrealba his due for stepping up his game, but some of you are swinging the pendulum too far in his direction and making him out to be more valuable than he really is. Right now he’s still riding an incredibly lucky streak, particularly with RISP. All these singles he’s hitting now will start to find their way into more gloves soon enough. He’s not a better hitter than Joe DiMaggio or Ted Williams, at the same time he’s not close to the worst hitter on the team. I wish his army of supporters would stop jumping on everything I say as though I’m making it out to be that, because it makes it seem like this cult following of his does think he’s DiMaggio or Williams for a month and a half of solid hitting.

And I just couldn’t comment. I figured I would let you all have your cathartic moment yelling at the umps.
We really did lose on Thursday because of the non call on the tag at second. Friday was tough but we managed to win. Yesterday was horrible, but you know what, we lost. They managed to beat us. I don’t think too many people (besides myself) really were thinking sweep here anyways, so let’s all stay positive!

THIS IS FUN… WE ARE IN AN AWESOME PLAYOFF RACE… ENJOY IT

how the Padres and Dbacks fight hard against us and the Jints…and the mets and nats are dead weight

i think the NL east teams are colluding to get the braves the wild card….

ok, i’m not entirely serious

or am i???

I never liked the idea of loosing teams have to play spoilers. Bottom line, its 162 game season and teams that have to rely on lesser teams to do their dirty work don’t deserve to go to the playoffs. Lets get it done against the teams we face head to head, and not worry about what other teams are doing.

your new signature!

good start at least

Willingham!!…Lowe looks like he may have a long day

They’re very similar to minor league Spring training games where coaches can have certain players bat first every inning and do other things to get players extra coaching or practice. They don’t keep track of W’s or L’s or stats because a lot of times pitchers will be working with new deliveries or pitches and batters will be tweaking their stances, we’ve just got to wait for word back from coaches and scouts about how players were doing or looked.
